As I watched the president of the United States lay his hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution to the best of his ability, it was indeed a time of somber reflection.

Now is the time for all Americans to stop and think and recommit to our families, our work, our nation and our God.

Being a committed Christian, I may notice it more than most, but it seems to me that today in our nation Christianity is being maligned and slandered more than ever before. The eternal truths taught by Jesus Christ are considered irrelevant for this day and this time.

Today, I want to go on record that I do solemnly swear to uphold the eternal teachings of the Holy Bible and defend them against all foes, both in heaven and in earth, so help me God.
